Yun Ming and Qian Renxue finally reached an agreement regarding the Soul Master Competition.
Yun Ming joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, using the academy's second team slot to participate in the Soul Master Competition.
Currently, through the coordination of the three parties, the second team's personnel are as follows.
Head Coach and Captain: Yun Ming
Vice Captain: Dugu Yan
Team Members: Oscar, Ning Rongrong
The team was lacking personnel, so Yun Ming provided a list, and Qian Renxue went to secure them.
After all matters were settled, Qian Renxue took her leave; as the Crown Prince, she was quite busy. Yun Ming and Dugu Bo were invited by Ning Fengzhi to return to Heaven Dou City together.
Inside Ning Fengzhi's sect leader carriage, Ning Fengzhi looked at Dugu Bo and cupped his hands in congratulations.
"Niece Dugu has now achieved Martial Soul Evolution, and her strength has greatly increased. Her future prospects are limitless. I, Ning, am here to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Dugu Bo was also in a pleasant mood regarding Ning Fengzhi's congratulations; he wore a smile and returned the gesture with feigned humility.
"Sect Leader Ning, you overpraise her. Yan-yan has a mischievous temperament; she still needs much more tempering to truly become a talent."
"Unlike your beloved daughter, Sect Leader Ning, who not only has exceptional talent but also an excellent personality—poised, elegant, gentle, and quiet. She will surely be a renowned leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future!"
While feigning humility, Dugu Bo also threw in a compliment for Ning Rongrong.
Ning Fengzhi was, after all, an old fox with deep schemes; he spouted nonsense without changing his expression.
"Rongrong just has an okay personality; her talent is far inferior to Niece Dugu's."
He said it as if it were true, though it was hard to tell if the great Sect Leader Ning felt any guilt.
After the two chatted for a few more moments, Ning Fengzhi saw that the groundwork was laid. He glanced at Yun Ming sitting beside Dugu Bo and revealed his true intentions.
"Your Majesty Dugu, I have an impertinent request. I wonder if it is appropriate to speak?"
Dugu Bo signaled for Ning Fengzhi to speak plainly. Ning Fengzhi said with a sincere expression.
"I wish to know the specific method for Niece Dugu's Martial Soul Evolution!"
"Although it is somewhat presumptuous, this matter is far too important for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"The problem with my Ning family is known to the upper echelons of the Soul Master World: we are unable to break through level eighty. But what the world does not know is that our clan actually has a way to break through, which is to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. It is just that we have tried many methods and have never been able to succeed."
"Perhaps Niece Dugu's method could provide us with some inspiration."
"Therefore, I hope that Senior Dugu can enlighten us. For this, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to pay any price!"
Dugu Bo did not answer after hearing Ning Fengzhi's request. He could not solve this problem; Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution was brought about by Yun Ming, so this still depended on Yun Ming's wishes.
Ning Fengzhi also knew that this was likely Yun Ming's doing, otherwise the timing of Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolution would not have been such a coincidence. Therefore, after asking, he was also waiting for Yun Ming's answer.
Inside the carriage, a tacit silence fell.
Yun Ming, who had been sitting next to Dugu Bo and listening to the entire conversation, knew that the three people beside him were all waiting for his answer. Thinking of the information Yang Wutian had accidentally learned a few days ago, and Yang Wudi who would soon arrive in Heaven Dou City, Yun Ming decided to cooperate with Ning Fengzhi once. Yun Ming spoke up and admitted it directly.
"I have a way to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul."
Seeing Yun Ming admit it just like that, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin felt both excited and apprehensive, and they hurriedly confirmed.
"Nephew Yun, is this true!"
Yun Ming responded to Ning Fengzhi with a serious expression and a sincere tone.
"It is true."
"Moreover, I can guarantee success. It just depends on whether Uncle Ning dares to believe it."
Seeing that Yun Ming had revealed his hand, Dugu Bo, though not understanding what he was planning, provided an assist for Yun Ming.
"You have seen Yan-yan's situation; her Martial Soul Evolution was done by the Yun kid."
Ning Fengzhi would not let go of any possible method, especially since Yun Ming had actual results and his demeanor did not seem fake. Ning Fengzhi continued to press.
"I naturally trust Nephew Yun's words, but I wonder what the method is?"
Ning Fengzhi also knew that asking for the plan right away was not ideal, so he followed up with conditions.
"Rest assured, Nephew. Uncle will certainly not let you suffer a loss. If your method can truly solve the Martial Soul defect of my Ning family, even if you want half the wealth of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Uncle Ning can give it to you!"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's promise, Yun Ming remained unmoved and continued to speak calmly.
"The specific method is to use an extremely rare top-tier medicine. Currently, there may only be one such plant on the entire continent. This medicine can not only help a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul holder evolve their Martial Soul, but it can also consolidate their foundation and enhance their talent."
⁂
When Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin heard that the specific method involved using medicine, their inner suspicion and rejection deepened. In the current Soul Master World of the Douluo Continent, and even looking at this issue ten thousand years into the future, the method of using medicine for cultivation is highly disapproved of. In their view, this is taking a shortcut that is bound to affect one's foundation.
Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Yun Ming added.
"To give Uncle Ning a little more confidence, let me reintroduce my background."
"I, Yun Ming, come from the Breaking Clan and am the grandson of the current Clan Leader of the Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi."
Hearing Yun Ming reveal his background, although they were extremely shocked, if it was the Yang family who came up with this method of Martial Soul Evolution, then it was not strange. Both of them felt slightly more at ease. Before the Clear Sky Sect had that incident back then, the Breaking Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had interacted quite a bit, and the relationship between the two families was not bad. They were also well aware of the Yang family's level of expertise in medicine.
Chen Xin spoke up with a sigh.
"I never expected Little Friend Yun to be the descendant of an old acquaintance."
After Yun Ming gave a simple response of "fate plays tricks on people," he continued the previous topic, as he did not want to dwell too much on pointless past events.
"I will not take half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth, but I do have conditions for helping evolve your Martial Soul."
Ning Fengzhi spoke directly.
"Nephew Yun, please feel free to state them."
Yun Ming proposed his conditions.
"I may come into conflict with Tang Hao in the near future, so my condition is three opportunities for Senior Chen Xin to take action on my behalf."
The other three people in the carriage were shocked upon hearing the news about Tang Hao, their moods turning tumultuous. They looked at Yun Ming with a mix of suspicion and uncertainty; the amount of information in that statement was staggering! What was Yun Ming, or rather the Breaking Clan, planning to do? Had they found Tang Hao and intended to kill him?!!
Dugu Bo advised him with a serious expression.
"Yun kid, your future achievements will surely surpass Tang Hao's, so do not act on a moment's impulse and ruin your bright future!"
After regaining his composure, Ning Fengzhi also spoke up.
"Indeed, Nephew Yun."
"Taking care of yourself is the most important thing!"
Since learning that Yun Ming came from the Breaking Clan, Ning Fengzhi wanted him as a son-in-law even more, and he could not just let Yun Ming put himself in danger. The combat power of the Breaking Clan was extraordinary; if he could bring them into the fold as well, that would be perfect.
Regarding the two pieces of advice stemming from different motivations, Yun Ming spoke.
"Senior Dugu, Uncle Ning, please rest assured!"
"I know what I am doing."
"There won't be a major conflict this time. This condition is merely to guard against any accidents."
Since Yun Ming had said so, they could only choose to believe him. After pondering for a while, Ning Fengzhi made his decision.
"Then it shall be as you say, Nephew. If your method can truly help our sect break through its shackles, then Sword Uncle will grant you those three opportunities to take action!"
